Move the household
Include furniture, estimated cartons and stored belongings. Identify rooms needing packing and furniture requiring preparation.

Moving the full household to Hyannis, leaving a Cape property or relocating selected furniture? Tell Milvus which belongings are going and who can provide access. We can include packing and discuss storage if delivery needs to wait.
Your estimate depends on the items, access and services you need.
Prefer to talk? 857-895-8955If the home is furnished or used seasonally, distinguish your belongings from items that stay. The moving list should reflect the actual load rather than the total contents of the property.
Include furniture, estimated cartons and stored belongings. Identify rooms needing packing and furniture requiring preparation.
List each item and mark what remains at the property. Include any additional collection or delivery address in the initial request.
Name the person who can provide access and receive the belongings. Make sure they have the furniture list and room instructions.
Show the driveway or loading position, usable space and carrying distance. Include gates, steps and any restricted entrance.
Pass along management moving hours, reservations or other access requirements. Explain any other delivery using the same area.
Photograph narrow doors, stair turns and the final rooms for larger pieces. Add furniture dimensions where fit needs a closer look.

Keep keys, medication, documents and the personal items needed during the transition with you. If the move includes storage or a delivery interval, plan for the whole gap rather than only the collection day.
Identify furniture and cartons going to the new address, those staying at the property and any separate stored group. Clear written labels and an item list are more reliable than explaining every destination during loading.
You can pack ordinary cartons yourself and ask Milvus to handle fragile belongings or selected rooms. Have the remaining work, materials and preparation dates included in the estimate.
Milvus publishes five date categories for local moving. The table shows the hourly rate for a crew with a truck. Confirm the category for your date and the complete booking terms before accepting your estimate.
| Date category | 2 movers + truck | 3 movers + truck | 4 movers + truck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discount | $110/hr | $160/hr | $210/hr |
| Regular | $120/hr | $170/hr | $220/hr |
| Subpeak | $150/hr | $200/hr | $250/hr |
| Peak | $180/hr | $230/hr | $280/hr |
| Highpeak | $260/hr | $360/hr | $460/hr |
Additional mover and additional truck rates are $55/hour each in the Discount category, $65/hour each in Regular, Subpeak and Peak, and $75/hour each in Highpeak. Ask which crew and vehicle arrangement fits your inventory.
The hourly rate is one part of the estimate. Confirm minimum billable time, travel, packing labor and materials, access-related work and any other applicable charges. A move is not booked by viewing these rates.
Milvus is based in Waltham. Ask how travel and billable time apply to the Hyannis appointment, alongside crew, date category, minimum billing and additional services. Provide both complete addresses and any fixed receiving window.
If the request includes an island destination or ferry-dependent access, describe it separately for review before assuming the appointment can be arranged. A Hyannis moving quote does not automatically include that onward service.
For another state, request an interstate estimate with the route, inventory and delivery arrangement specified. The published local hourly table is not a long-distance total.
List furniture, cartons and unusual pieces. Show dimensions, removable components and known condition concerns.
Choose packing help and agree on furniture disassembly or other preparation, including labor and supplies.
Review the complete estimate, dates and property access. Explain any change before moving day.
For direct delivery, prepare keys and rooms. For storage, confirm conditions, access, handling and redelivery before collection.
